You see, it’s the Speaking and Writing frameworks that give students the real advantage.

END – IELTS Again, again again again….

You may have already taken the exam and realised for some reason you are not getting that Band 7! 

You will be able to solve ALL these common problems IELTS students face: 

What does the examiner want from me? ✅ SOLVED

How the heck do I write academically? ✅ SOLVED

How do I organise my thoughts? ✅ SOLVED

How do I get ideas for these CRAZY Task 2 topics? ✅ SOLVED

Why is writing task 2 seriously killing me! ✅ SOLVED

What format is needed? ✅ SOLVED

What essay structure does the examiner want? ✅ SOLVED

Academic writing? What is that? ✅ SOLVED

How many IELTS exams am I going to take?✅ SOLVED

You feel like you just have no confidence left. 
You feel lost, confused and frustrated. 
Frustrated with IELTS. 
Frustrated with the essay.
Frustrated with the examiner.
Frustrated that you don’t even know where you are losing points! 
Or perhaps you tried a local preparation centre? 
Where the same teacher is teaching kids in the afternoon, adult learners in the evening, and IELTS students at the weekends.   
In England we say “Jack of all trades, master of none!”
Does this teacher TRULY know how to prepare students for the exam? 
This same tutor is supposed to be responsible for you passing the IELTS exam? Really?! 
Probably not! 
A lot of tutors, especially native English speakers, fail to realise that students from non-anglo saxon cultures have different writing styles and conventions. 
Because most tutors fail to realise this, it makes their tuition USELESS. 
They offer bland advice like: 
 – Write in an academic style
– You need to have better ideas 
– Practice practice practice! 
As you probably know, writing the essay the examiner wants to see is INSANELY FRUSTRATING. 
Why is that? 
In your own language you probably… 
 – write in a style completely different to what the IELTS requires
–  have to include A LOT OF FORMALITY and FLOWERY phrases 
– use very long sentences
– never have to argue your own opinion 
– memorise huge amounts of text and reproduce it on exam day!
So it is no surprise you’re stuck at 6.5 
In the Anglo-Saxon countries, from around age 16,  we are taught to formulate OUR OWN IDEAS and DEVELOP OUR OWN ARGUMENTS. 
Whereas in other countries, this simply never happens!  
So it is no surprise that even if you are amazingly proficient at writing in English, you can still fail the IELTS exam. Even native English speakers get stuck at Band 6.5.
Again, in the Anglo-Saxon world you have to come up with your own ideas for your essay answers! 
And again this is incredibly confusing for IELTS students because you have never done this before and you get the famous “MY MIND GOES BLANK”. 
Or perhaps you get an explosion of ideas and you are now struggling to organise them into coherent paragraphs!
Both of these problems are incredibly common for ambitious high flying students who want to pass the exam. 
Out of frustration you bounce from one Youtube video to the next. Looking for answers. 
Around in circles like a dog chasing its own tail… 🙁 
One fake IELTS tutor even believes you should never ever brainstorm! What a muppet! 
By the way you should brainstorm in the exam to get ideas, just make sure you don’t spend a lot of time on it. In fact in our course we give you the quickest solution to regularly get high scoring ideas.  
Or perhaps you’ve tried using FREE IELTS classes or the CRAZY cheap ones? 
As we say in England, when you pay peanuts, you get monkeys! 
And no serious IELTS student wants a monkey for a tutor, right? 
Or what about those online schools offering hour after hour of online tuition. 
Did you know most are just pre-recorded classes with a fake chat box? 
Also, in reality you don’t need hours of information. You just need the right information for essay transformation (6.5 to 7)…
This is the truly supreme option if:
– You know your IELTS tutor has a verifiable track record of success 
– You know your IELTS tutor has developed a fool proof methodology 
– Your tutor has ex-IELTS examiners on their team 
– You have enough money to ($$$$$) to buy the hundreds of classes needed 
It’s highly unlikely your tutor has spent the last TEN YEARS interviewing the worlds best IELTS experts. 
The short answer is: they don’t know!
The vast majority of tutors are focusing on the language skills or academic English. Which is totally acceptable but just insanely SLOWER and time consuming way to get to Band 7, 8 or 9. 
Most students seek out the Sentence Guide because they realise their current studying techniques either don’t work or just take too long! 
Bouncing from Youtube video to blog to TikTok looking for IELTS answers? 
• Being stuck at 6.5 and not moving forward with your career?
• Listening to IELTS gurus sell old and tired materials? 
• Taking test after test after test? Over and over and over again! 
Getting started is always the hardest part. 
But how is your current preparation strategy working out for you? 
Is it helping or hurting you? 
I guess it is not working, otherwise you would not be reading this. I guess you are looking for solutions to overcome this frustrating obstacle, the IELTS exam. 
I suggest you try our method, join us, and if it isn’t what you need, for whatever reason, claim your refund. 
Some students have an explosion of ideas and struggle to organise them. We know this from working with thousands of students over the years. 
Ben, the owner, struggled with this also when he was starting out as a tutor. 
This is why we have simplified the process, and made a system whereby you literally choose your best ideas, and drop them into the frameworks we provide. 
Again, from working with countless students, especially in Asia where the education system is very different, we know a mind without essay ideas is common. 
We give you a complete methodology on how to consistently generate ideas for any IELTS topic, and even a short cut so you can use the same argument / vocab for about 45% of the Task 2 essay questions. 
The essay format is a big obstacle for most students. It’s a skill that goes beyond the English language, beyond grammar and vocabulary. A skill even native English speakers struggle with. 
However, our templates and frameworks make it exceptionally straightforward. You just drop your ideas into the framework and instantly you have a basic coherent essay. 
From this basic coherent essay you have the foundation to use the frameworks, and write essays that will consistently reach Band 7 or higher. 
This is because either your language skills or your exam skills are holding you back.
A lot of students are unsure which skill is costing them points! This is why getting fast feedback is incredibly important.
We have heard of countless students taking exam after exam after exam, until they got in contact with us. 
After working with us they saw the problems in their essays, they got the Task 2 frameworks that make IELTS essay writing easy.
A lot of students tell us this. We then look at their essays and see that they actually do have the grammar skills already! 
A lot of students are actually much closer than they realise. 
Also, the grammar skills they are missing are quickly taken care of by using the framework, and getting feedback. 
You see, after the framework is put into practice, the grammar skills might still need working on, but they often improve much faster than you think. 
From experience we know this is extremely common. Task 2 style essays are uncommon elsewhere in the world. 
Most countries’ education system is based on memorisation, drills, or a completely different writing style. 
Some tutors believe it to be unfair when their students are required to something quite far from proving competence in the English language! 
After all, this is a language test NOT an intelligence test! 
But don’t worry! 
Including your opinion, and explaining your position, and writing high scoring essays becomes crazy easy once you start using the frameworks in our course. 
If you can use Google maps, then using our essay writing system is just as easy! 
From experience, a lot of students have adequate vocabulary and are usually much closer than they think. 
A lot of students just need their vocab skills adjusted a little, and after a little feedback on using the frameworks they quickly see a surprising jump. 
It’s almost automatic!
Also, on the course, each essay question we correct you, comes back with a model essay attached you get an insight into high scoring vocab.

academic success
After buying you will get an email with your login details.

You can access your course wherever you are in the world, and even on your phone (great for students who travel a lot).

You have access for 90 days so you can work at your own pace. This access can be extended by 100 days for just $27.
If you have your IELTS test coming up soon, you can get complete everything, including the 9 essay corrections included, within 10 days.

However, we advise most students to allow a month so that they can properly review their IELTS essay corrections so as to get the most from them.
If your university requires a band score of 7 for the IELTS writing section, we can definitely help.

You are best checking with your immigration agent or university as to what your exact criteria are.
Yes and no.

We prepare you to write for passing the IELTS test. This includes a lot of academic writing principles, and strategies.

For example, writing in the passive form is not the most accurate way to convey information, and excellent academic writing should be accurate and concise.

However, using passive structures in the IELTS exam helps you pick up points for the Grammatical Range and Accuracy criteria.

The British Council and the Australian company IDP Education Limited jointly own IELTS. The exam marking, and test paper writing is covered by Cambridge Assessment English.
In July 2021 IDP bought the rights from the British Council to administer all the IELTS tests in India.
There are myths and rumours that tests administered by one organisation are easier than the others, however in our experience, and industry knowledge, these are entirely just that, myths.
The courses are designed for people preparing for IELTS Academic and General Training.
Do not use this course to improve your general English language skills. We are focused entirely on the IELTS test.
Although a lot of the skills you pick up on our IELTS course are transferable into other areas of professional life such as academic writing, email communication, and speaking confidence, we strongly suggest that you only take this course if you want to improve your IELTS test score.
No. For more information please see the answer above.
We know a lot of IELTS trainers take this course in order to be better equipped to prepare their own students.
We did have IELTS teacher training courses available but recently had to close them in order to better serve the large amount of students on our own IELTS online preparation courses.
 
Yes.
Our course largely has academic questions because these are considered slightly harder than the general exam questions.
Our online IELTS preparation is more than suitable for students on the general or academic track.
Our essay correctors are EX-IELTS Examiners.
All are native English speakers with over 20 years of experience in teaching.
They were previously trained by IELTS IDP / British Council.
They work on standard essay corrections and also give feedback on the IELTS Online course.
